Tech Guides for Everyone
Just doing some maintenance to my Smoothwall Homebrew build I built about 12 months ago, few issues with the operating system so I decided to do an entire reinstall of Smoothwall version 3.1.

I really don’t like having my expensive workstation PC running as a BitTorrent client overnight (or at any time) because let’s face it, you are open to hackers for many hours at a time with open ports etc, so I decided to build a power efficient, Mini-ITX box dedicated to BitTorrent downloads, and the result is this video. All went well with some minor issues usual for this kind of build. I have listed all the parts I used with links to manufacturers below.
Enjoy!
OK time for some fun! I recently built a custom Smoothwall firewall that I had wanted to build for almost a year, so I finally bought the parts and went for it. Only problem is that the case I bought was for a "Thin" Mini-ITX motherboard, but the motherboard I bought was a standard Mini-ITX size, so I learned the hard way that there is a big difference between "Mini-ITX" and "Thin Mini-ITX".
Not one to be beaten, I decided to "Mod" the case and make it accept the full size Mini-ITX board that I already had, and not buy another mobo damn it!
Enjoy 🙂
